PASO Council meeting

The meeting began with the ceremonial part - Taking the oath.

Four candidates who successfully passed the Qualification Exam took the oath and received parting words from the President of the Chamber Butovchenko T.D. and congratulations from the PASO Council.

The issues on the agenda were considered.

At the personal request of three lawyers, the issue of termination of membership in the PASO was considered in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 15 of the Federal Law "On Advocacy and Advocacy Activity in the Russian Federation".

The status of one lawyer was suspended for personal reasons in accordance with paragraph 5 of paragraph 1 of Article 16 of the Federal Law "On Advocacy and Advocacy Activity in the Russian Federation".

The status of four lawyers was terminated on the grounds of paragraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Federal Law "On Advocacy and Advocacy Activity in the Russian Federation" - personal request of lawyers.

We saw off lawyers Lyudmila Vladimirovna Anashina and Natalia Anatolyevna Dubovitchenko to a well-deserved rest, having dedicated more than 40 years of their lives to the profession.
Lyudmila Vladimirovna and Natalia Anatolyevna are laureates of the Order "For Loyalty to the Advocacy Duty". Their conscientious work served and serves as an example for others, and their skill and talent are recognized by colleagues.

Vladimir Markovich Oleynik's status has been terminated due to death.
The PASO Council expresses its sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Based on a personal application, the disciplinary sanction of one lawyer was lifted early.

The PASO Council satisfied the applications:

- on inclusion in the system of providing subsidized legal aid - fifteen lawyers;

- on the implementation of the Standard of professional training and professional development of lawyers - three lawyers.

Information was entered into the register of lawyer entities - three lawyer offices were liquidated; two and one law firm were approved.

Four disciplinary proceedings were considered, initiated:

at the request of a judge of the Novokuibyshevsky City Court of the Samara Region - a warning was issued to the lawyer about the termination of the status of a lawyer;
at the request of the Office of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation for the Samara Region - a reprimand was issued;
on the proposal of the Vice-President of the PASO - a warning, due to non-payment of membership fees;
on the complaint of the client - at the request of the lawyer, the consideration was postponed until the next meeting.

Zemchikhin V.V. and Dyachenko A.I. were included in the commission for the protection of the rights of lawyers.

The PASO Council reminds that lawyers should pay special attention to the methodological recommendations for conducting lawyer proceedings, regardless of the place of their storage: be it an office or the lawyer's place of residence. All proceedings must be marked "Lawyer Proceedings", which will ensure the preservation of attorney-client privilege during a search at the place of legal practice.

The PASO Council provided an explanation on the lawyer's appeal regarding the procedure for interpreting paragraph 5 of Art. 9 KPEA:

"... The Council of the Chamber of Advocates of the Samara Region consistently takes the position that, due to its specificity, a trial with the participation of a jury is objectively the most complex form of criminal proceedings. Participation in such a case as a defense attorney is a priority for an attorney and requires his closest attention to the organization of professional activities...

The presence of other cases in the proceedings of an attorney is not an obstacle to accepting an assignment to defend an accused in a criminal case considered with the participation of a jury, does not release him from fulfilling previously accepted obligations and does not establish an imperative ban on concluding new agreements on the provision of legal assistance. Otherwise, it would inevitably entail a violation of the rights of the accused to defense, by unreasonably limiting them in the choice of defense attorney, while simultaneously infringing on the right of the attorney to freely carry out professional activities...".
